The return of winter...

After a brief tease of Spring last week, we got hit with another reminder of winter.

 We're less than a month away from St. Patrick's Day now however.

Spring is just around the corner.

Here is a collection of Dublin Ohio pieces that we put together for an order.

I bet this town is a fun place to be St. Patrick's Day.

Our pottery looks warm and cozy even in dark lighting...

and bright.

This was the tag at the end of a customer's email to us:

***Love who you are.............Love what you do..........Love every moment, by being in the moment!*** John F. Barnes

Things I Love...

I love how pretty the greenware pottery looks while drying, even under bad lighting.

This Southern drive thru which specializes in  North Carolina  BBQ and Premium Milkshakes called the

"Cook Out".

We had bbq pulled pork and got to choose from at least 30 unique milkshake flavors.

Hopefully they'll break out of the Carolinas and franchise into Pittsburgh (fingers crossed).

Gift Message I liked: "Congratulations! Let love never leave your house and happiness stay with you forever! Kathy & Chuck C.

One last salute to winter...

Before we say hello to Spring, we wanted to give one last lingering look at the beauty of winter as seen outside of Pittsburgh in Washington County. Even when it's too frigid to be out and about, there's always a warm cozy drive available to us Pittsburghers any time of year.

Cows in a snowy pasture

MC with Cow logo

I am always interested in how our customers pick one logo over the other. Because most of our orders are placed online, we very rarely have the opportunity to ask. The "Cow" logo is used on this "Howard & Mary" piece. I imagine it going to some bucolic setting much like the pictures shown below. But, it could just as easily end up in some big city apartment whose owners enjoy a collection of "cow" themed memorabilia. We'll never know.-jo
